High School seniors use hydroponic equipment to learn molecular biology at Penn State

From an article on hydroponics at http://www.pennlive.com/


Three seniors from Milton Hershey High school are learning about molecular biology in a hydroponic garden that they helped construct at Peen State University.

The Hydroponics are used to help the students study specimens year round. The students begin growing  their plants in small petri dishes and continue monitoring them through their life-cycle. Different strains are developed as part of the experiment, through the use of genetic modification.
